Crew vehicle

Tender summary

The competition is for the delivery of a crew vehicle + an option for one additional crew vehicle. The procurement ́s value is estimated to: NOK 14,000,000 including the option excluding VAT. The volume is an estimate and is not binding for the contracting authority. See the procurement documents for further information. The contracting authority reserves the right to cancel the competition, i.a. in connection with budgetary coverage. The procurement is for special vehicles for fire and rescuing services. Regulations on emission requirements for public procurement of vehicles for road transport (FOR-2022-12-20-2384) § 2 exempt such vehicles from the regulations. In addition, the Procurement Regulations § 7-9, opens the fifth paragraph that the obligation to set climate and environmental requirements does not apply "if the procurement, by its nature, has a climate footprint and an environmental impact that is immaterial". The environmental impact must be assessed in light of the total procurement in the entity and the vehicle ́s particular area of use for turn-out vehicles. Fire engines and lift vehicles are only used in acute stand-by situations and have a very low annual driving distance compared to ordinary transport vehicles. This means that the climate footprint over its lifetime is marginal in relation to the procurement ́s total purpose. Furthermore, it is a stand-by requirement that the vehicles shall always be able to deliver full performance in extreme operating conditions, regardless of temperature, load and available infrastructure. There are currently no suitable zero emission alternatives that fulfil all the technical and operative requirements. Emphasising climate and environmental considerations with a minimum of 30% in the award phase will therefore not produce a real climate effect and can, in the worst case, weaken society's preparedness. Based on this, the environmental requirements are assessed in accordance with § 7-9 second and third paragraphs that are not applicable for this procurement, and there are requirements, cf. § 7-9 fifth paragraph. Apprentices: The contracting authority has assessed the procurement against the apprenticeship regulations, cf. the Procurement Act § 7 and concluded that apprentices are not required in this procurement as the procurement is an procurement, cf. the apprentice regulation § 4.
